In a parallel ceramic world, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are two carefree figurines with their pants down and bottoms showing.

Caganer.com, a Catalan company that makes ceramic Caganer figurines - which are statues of people taking a dump - has created specialty versions of the two US Presidential candidates.

The online company said customers were searching for a likeness of Trump in recent months, so one was created. A Clinton Caganer figurine that was previously in production had a makeover for 2016.

At Christmas in Catalonia, the miniature figures are placed alongside Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus. The cheeky tradition isn't meant to be blasphemous, but rather a source of luck and prosperity in the new year.

The origin of the Caganer is uncertain, but it is believed to date from the 18th century. More recently the figurines have come in the image of all manner of famous characters living and dead, fictional and real.
